DVD/Blu-ray Release: Fright Night
On December 13th, Walt Disney Home Entertainment released DreamWorks Pictures’ Fright Night on Blu-ray & DVD. A remake of the 1984 horror-comedy classic, this is a bloody good mix of suspenseful thrills and great performances. We reviewed the film when it opened in theatres on August 19th, our overall consensus was:
“With some wickedly funny humour to offset the genuinely suspenseful and scary scenes, director Craig Gillespie’s bitingly sharp remake of Fright Night delivers a good sense of summer fun and is carried by excellent performances from a stellar cast that includes a smoothly creepy turn by Colin Farrell. *** (Out of 4)”
The Blu-ray includes deleted/extended scenes, a short featurette, a music video as well as a promo for Peter Vincent’s (David Tennant) fictional stage show and the full ‘home movie’ that appears in the movie.
Fright Night is 106 minutes and rated 14A.
